A Louisville paper says "Sbould New

the United States, it will be big thing
for us. Newfoundland dogs will be
cheaper. And cheap dogs would be a
great blessing to the poor. As is well
known, the poorer people become the more
dogs they require"
There is not blamed bit Of use 90

Woodstock can supply the world. If dogs
are a sign OF poverty then this town
should be fenced in and labeled "The
Worlds Poor. House"
